The FutureGame™ Simulation

The FutureGame™is a sophisticated strategic planning tool in the form of
a multimedia role-playing interactive simulation that deals with the future
challenges and opportunities facing your organization. The simulation is
reality based, information intensive, and realistic, while also being easy
to play and fun.

The "normal" FutureGame has three sequential components: The FuturesAudit,
the FutureGame simulation, and the Futures Retrospective.
(The FutureGame can be used as a stand-alone product, but its impact is
deepened, enriched, and extended if used in conjunction with the Futures
Audit and Retrospective.)
How it is used
The FutureGame is used for mid- to long-range strategic planning, envisioning
realistic future goals, opportunities and challenges, new product development
and innovation opportunities, as well as team building in a context of organizationally
relevant problem solving.
Who uses it
The FutureGame is designed to be played by senior level executives in groups
that range in size from ten to one hundred. Players are on teams that correspond
to real world divisions or geographical areas in which the organization
is based. They deal with real issues facing the organization in a dynamic
fast-paced scenario-driven environment that combines, at various times,
structured brainstorming, thoughtful planning processes, presentations of
results and plans, competition between teams, and cooperation as a whole
organization.
Results

facing your organization, business, and industry

FuturesAudit and Futures Retrospective
The FutureGame's impact is deepened and extended through two tools that
are used before and after it. The FuturesAudit is a survey instrument
that is used before the FutureGame and the Futures Retrospective
is used after. Learn more . . .
